In other moves today, the Nationals acquire reliever Jonathan Papelbon from the Phillies for P Nick Pivetta. Papelbon had stated clearly that he wanted out of Philadelphia, and he will now displace Drew Storen as the Nats’ closer. The Angels stock up on outfielders because of concerns over the health of CF Mike Trout; one day after acquiring Shane Victorino, they get David DeJesus from the Rays and David Murphy from the Indians to shore up the position. Finally, the Athletics trade Ben Zobrist to the Royals in return for two prospects, Aaron Brooks and Sean Manaea.
